6 getting started information choosing topics and standards NZQA advises that a one-year course should lead to credits. You may wish to do only some topics. For example, you may only want to do internal standards in this course (or only externals). You should look carefully at the course outline and make your choices. It is important to consider how well this will meet your learning goals (such as gaining enough credits to achieve your NCEA Level 2, or meeting the entry requirements for a tertiary course or any future study). You should discuss your options with your learning advisor and/or your teacher. self-marking Many assessment activities are self-marked. You ll find an Answer guide towards the back of each booklet. Use these answers to mark your own work and make corrections where necessary. Self-marking is very important as it gives you instant feedback on how well you understand the ideas, concepts or information that have been covered. assessment Students are required to send in their self-marked activities and teacher-assessed work. Teachers return student work with feedback and advice in preparation for NCEA internal and external assessments. ASSESSMENT TASKS s Your internal assessments (Y1s) will be sent once you have submitted the teacher-marked activities for: AC2003 (AS91386 Accounting 2.7) Processing financial records for an inventory subsystem AC2004 (AS91179 Accounting 2.6) Processing financial records for accounts receivable subsystem AC2009 (AS91175 Accounting 2.2) Using a software package called MYOB Externals The other Achievement Standards: AC2001 and AC2002 (AS91174 Accounting 2.1) Accounting concepts AC2005 and AC2006 (AS91176 Accounting 2.3) Preparing financial statements AC2007 and AC2008 (AS91177 Accounting 2.4) Interpreting financial information will be examined externally in November. External assessment preparation includes: practice external assessments Te Kura practice examinations. The detailed criteria for Achievement Standards will be given in the Reference guide. They can also be found by searching the subject and level in the NCEA part of the NZQA website ( and then finding the relevant standard(s). 4 AC2000CA te aho o te kura pounamu

7 getting started information time commitment There are nine booklets in this course. Each contains a note on the front cover indicating how many study hours the topic is likely to require. For example, booklet AC2001 may take 20 hours of work to complete at the normal pace, representing about four weeks of work at five hours per week. Before deciding on the pace of learning, read through this Course and assessment guide and ask yourself the following: How much time can I set aside for study each week? Will I be attempting externally and internally assessed standards? Will I be able to keep a steady pace of five hours of study each week? Do I intend to sit the external examination at the end of the year? Do I need specific external or internal credits for next year s study or work? normal pace of learning As a guide, expect to do at least five hours work per week in this subject. This means completing three to four booklets each term so that you complete the course before the external examinations at the end of the school year. flexible pace of learning If you have less than a year because you start later or need to finish earlier, you can decide the pace at which you work. You could still complete the whole course by devoting more time and effort to it. Your teacher can ensure that you receive the resources you need in time to do this. cover sheets Detach the back cover of the booklet; this becomes the cover sheet for your work. Fill it in, sign it and attach to the front of your work before sending it back to Te Kura. If applicable, your supervisor also signs this sheet as part of our authenticity requirements. All students are encouraged to submit as much as possible of their work on line via the OTLE Dropbox. When work requires authentication, students will follow the instructions provided in OTLE. queries about your work It is important to contact your teacher if you have any queries about your work. It helps to have your ID number, booklet code (for example, AC2002) and the activity or question number when you contact your teacher, but it is not essential. otle activities If you are looking for more practice or extension, log on to OTLE, where you will find material including tutorials, links to websites and practice activities. Extra material will be added throughout the year. te aho o te kura pounamu AC2000CA 5

13 6 assessment information standards The National Qualifications Framework has two types of national standards: Achievement and Unit Standards. Credits from both Achievement Standards and Unit Standards count towards NCEA. Note: There are only Achievement Standards in Accounting. Please refer to our Student Guide to National Certificates or Te Kura ( and NZQA websites ( for more information about National Certificates of Educational Achievement, and assessment. internal assessment Unit Standards are no longer offered in Accounting. All assessment activities are based on Achievement Standards. Some Achievement Standards are internally assessed. This means that your teacher sets and marks your assessments that count towards credits gained for these standards. external assessment External assessment means that an external examiner marks your assessment work. This may be through NZQA examinations at the end of the year or (for subjects such as Graphics, Technology and Art) by submitting a portfolio or project. You will be able to complete practice assessments and Te Kura practice examinations for external standards. te kura practice examinations Students should complete the Te Kura practice examinations for any external standards with an end of year examination they have entered. It is important that students complete all practice external assessments and examinations. If for some reason, such as illness, you are unable to sit the examinations at the end of the year you will only be eligible for consideration for a derived grade (compassionate consideration) if you have completed the practice examinations. resubmissions If you have made mistakes in your standard assessment, your teacher may offer you a resubmission opportunity. This means you have made errors that you are capable of discovering and correcting by yourself. A resubmission allows you to improve your result. further assessment opportunities for internal assessments For some standards, you will be able to complete a second assessment called a further assessment opportunity to improve your results. These standards are indicated in the assessment summary. You should take this opportunity where it is available. te aho o te kura pounamu AC2000CA 11

14 assessment information authenticity Authenticity means that students complete and submit work that is their own. When you submit work to Te Kura, you sign an authentication declaration that the work you are submitting is your own work and was done under the required assessment conditions. Where applicable, your supervisor signs to confirm this declaration. When submitting work online via the OTLE Dropbox, if it requires authentication, students must follow the instructions provided in OTLE. derived grades (compassionate consideration) If for any unexpected reason you are not able to sit your end of year examination or to submit final work towards an external standard (portfolios or projects), you may be eligible for a derived grade. Please refer to the Student Guide to National Certificates and contact your teacher or learning advisor as soon as possible to find out more should you feel this is necessary. appeals You have the right to query an assessment result if you want further clarification or disagree with the result. If you are still not satisfied, you may appeal. Refer to the Student Guide to National Certificates for more information. You can also appeal any other decisions, procedures or policies about assessments. Contact your teacher or learning advisor if you wish to appeal. More information and a form that students can use to appeal is available on the Te Kura website in the Student toolkit area ( and go to Student toolkit). 12 AC2000CA te aho o te kura pounamu

15 7 suggested course plan Here is a suggested one-year plan. The suggestions are based on the assumption that you are going to be enrolled for a full-year course at the beginning of the school year, study all the content and attempt all the standards offered. However, you may enrol with Te Kura partway through the year and continue your studies the following year. You may choose to select only some of the topics and standards, depending on your circumstances. Feel free to discuss your individual programme with your subject teacher, who will be willing to adjust the programme to suit your needs. Term Suggested plan Time (approximately) 1 Read AC2000CA, the course and assessment planner and contact your teacher if you need help getting started. Look through the Reference guide and familiarise yourself with the Achievement Standards, Glossary and exam hints.

The internal assessments can be left to later in the year to complete. It is advisable to complete the booklets leading to externals first so you can confidently sit the school exams in September. However, if you wish to complete the internally assessed achievement standards earlier in the year please contact your teacher. te aho o te kura pounamu AC2000CA 13
